public final class MethodKey extends Object
This stores a method (or class) name and parameters.
This replaces the original key scheme which used to build the key by concatenating the method name and parameters class names as one string with the exception that primitive types were converted to their object class equivalents.
The key is still based on the same information, it is just wrapped in an object instead. Primitive type classes are converted to they object equivalent to make a key; int foo(int) and int foo(Integer) do generate the same key.
A key can be constructed either from arguments (array of objects) or from parameters (array of class). Roughly 3x faster than string key to access the map & uses less memory.Modifier and Type | Class and Description |

MethodKey.AmbiguousException
Simple distinguishable exception, used when
we run across ambiguous overloading.

Gets the most specific constructor that is applicable to the parameters of this key.

isInvocationConvertible(Class<?> formal,
Class<?> actual,
boolean possibleVarArg)
Determines whether a type represented by a class object is
convertible to another type represented by a class object using a
method invocation conversion, treating object types of primitive
types as if they were primitive types (that is, a Boolean actual
parameter type matches boolean primitive formal type).
|
static boolean |
isStrictInvocationConvertible(Class<?> formal,
Class<?> actual,
boolean possibleVarArg)
Determines whether a type represented by a class object is
convertible to another type represented by a class object using a
method invocation conversion, without matching object and primitive
types.
